Subject: ssh foreign server problem
Date: 15 Mar 1999 19:59:15 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r9qq42ks.fsf@gamera.hws> (raw)
I'm having trouble using gnus's nifty ssh foreign host feature. Is it
me, or is there a bug?
I'm running ssh 1.2.26, GNU Emacs 20.3.1, pgnus-0.80, FreeBSD-3.0.
Ssh-agent is running and I have ssh-add'ed my id.
I have a shell account with an ISP, say "isp.com". This is not my main ISP
but they have newsgroups not available on the main news server I use. The
news server will not respond to hosts outside of isp.com.
If I do
ssh -L 8119:news.isp.com:119 shell.isp.com
then I am able to access the server by configuring a server as follows:
(nntp "foozle"
(nntp-address "localhost")
(nntp-port-number 8119)
(nntp-record-commands t))
But this is messy.
OTOH, suppose I create another server, per the docs, to use pgnus's built-in
ssh proxying:
(nntp "barzle"
(nntp-address "shell.isp.com")
(nntp-rlogin-program "ssh")
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
(nntp-end-of-line "\n")
(nntp-rlogin-parameters
("telnet" "news.isp.com" "nntp")))
When I try to open this server, there's a little traffic out to the
Internet, then gnus just sits there forever saying "Opening nntp
server on barzle...".
Manual telnet from shell.isp.com to news.isp.com, port 119 gets a
positive response from the news server.
I tried setting nntp-record-commands to "t", but nothing goes into the
*nntp-log* buffer.
Any ideas on what's wrong or how to debug this situation?
